Space X releases An Incredible 3D Animation Launch Video of Falcon Heavy Rocket

Falcon Heavy rocket

On Tuesday, Space X releases a new 3D animated video displaying the launch of Falcon Heavy rocket.

Falcon Heavy is the world’s most powerful rocket as it can effortlessly lift into orbit with a payload of 53 metric tons. The payload is nearly double to the load of any other ordinary rocket.

A few months ago, Space X has signed an agreement with NASA in order to use its pad 39 A. The space firm intends to use the pad for the launch of manned Dragon V2 and Falcon Heavy.

Space X was working on the development of the Falcon Heavy since last several years.   Finally, the company is all set to launch the rocket till the end of 2015.

The space transport service launched a test flight of the rocket on 10 January at 9:47AM GMT from Cape Canaveral. Unfortunately, the test flight ended with a “rapid unexpected disassembly”.  Hence, Space X is currently working on the next run of the rocket.

However, the latest video shows the launch of all three Falcon Heavy rockets from Kennedy Space Center.

Additionally, Space X has planned to send a space weather monitoring satellite into Orbit through Falcon 9.  The chief objective of the mission is to help NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The flight is scheduled for the 8th of February 2015.

Chimps Rare Specialties Caught On Video

In a new report coming from PLOS Biology there is now evidential data that reveals a rare series of behavior regarding chimps regarding the adoption of traits and social sharing.

This sharing allows for individual to individual teaching and passing down the traits and behaviors through the generations of chimp colony. Each colony had its own unique behavior and traits. The data was gleaned from the scientists and researchers from the University of St. Andrews, University of Neuchatel, Universite’ du Quebec, and the Angila Ruskin University. This mega team of scientists dug deep into the chimpanzee existence, lifestyle, and culture to bring about a new and intriguing look into these primates that are humanity’s closest cousins. Deep inside the forbidding Budongo forest of Uganda, the teams found startling discoveries they’ve now published for the world to see.

What transpired is that they noticed the various diversity of behaviors of the different chimp troupes. Some used tools and some didn’t. The variations of the behaviors even within the same communities was enough to show that the animals were teaching one another new and old practices that became unique to them. The fact that some of the behaviors using tools showed conclusively that the animals had learned from long term association and ingenuity to use some tools for different purposes but each of these behaviors were used only within that specific community. Chimps it appears are just as diverse and unique in their communities as we humans are.

One amazing technique the researchers observed are how the chimps used “leaf sponges” a way they dip leaves in water to get a drink. Some chimps just dipped certain leaves in the water and others fashioned certain leaves by chewing on them. Some even saved the used leaves for further use. This accents how other scientists had watched as chimps who lived in various environments like grasslands, thick forests, and woodlands all figured out and passed down behaviors. This proves that the animals have cultures and there are probably more deep rooted behaviors the scientists need to discover as well to see how the chimps develop their cultures and to what complexity they are.
